CAMDEN, N.J. (Jan. 8, 2020) –The Rutgers University-Camden and Ramapo College gave fans plenty of basketball for their money here Wednesday night in a New Jersey Athletic Conference marathon. After 10 lead changes, four ties and two overtime periods, however, the Roadrunners edged the Scarlet Raptors, 77-74.

In a game that fell one overtime shy of tying the Rutgers-Camden program record for the longest game, which has happened three times, the Raptors dropped to 4-8 overall and 1-5 in the NJAC with their third straight loss. Two of them have come this week, against traditionally strong teams in Ramapo and Gwynedd Mercy, by a combined margin of eight points.

Ramapo improves to 6-7 overall and 2-4 in the NJAC with its second straight win. The Roadrunners have won their last nine games against Rutgers-Camden and lead the all-time series, 52-15.

Both teams appeared to have the game in hand at various points, as the Roadrunners surged to an early 11-point lead (26-15) before the Scarlet Raptors stormed back to build a 37-31 lead right before halftime. Rutgers-Camden led at the break, 37-33.

Rutgers-Camden led by six points, 49-43, before Ramapo went on an eight-point ran to take a 51-49 advantage and start a sequence where the teams swapped the lead on eight consecutive possessions. The Scarlet Raptors led by five points, 69-64, with 2:31 remaining in the game after senior forward Isaac Destin made a pair of foul shots. Ramapo, however, came back to tie the game on a trey by sophomore guard Jason Battle and a jumper by senior guard Rob McWilliams, sending the game into overtime tied at 69-69.

In an overtime period where each team scored only one field goal, the Raptors took a 71-69 lead on a jumper by junior guard Arian Azemimidway through the five-minute period. Ramapo tied the game at 71-71 on a layup by McWilliams with 23 seconds remaining, pushing matters into the second overtime session.

The Roadrunners took the lead for good on a layup by senior forward Jordan Zagadou with 2:24 left in the second overtime period and padded their margin to four points, 75-71, on a jumper by McWilliams. A trey by Azemi cut the gap to 75-74 down the stretch before Battle closed out the Ramapo win with a pair of foul shots. The Raptors missed a last-moment attempt at a game-tying trey.

Ramapo shot 30-for-59 (50.8 percent) from the floor, while Rutgers-Camden went 28-for-63 (44.4). Both teams made 18 turnovers and the Roadrunners went 10-for-21 (47.6) from the foul line, while the Scarlet Raptors were 8-for-11 (72.7).

Rutgers-Camden plays another NJAC home game on Saturday when it faces Rutgers-Newark at 3 p.m.
